War ensign of the Navy

Naval forces: Total number unknown
-- In the pre-dreadnought era, the Russians operated the third largest navy on the face of the globe. The Russian fleet contained an interesting and varied collection of one-offs, experimental small battleships, two completely round ironclads each driven by 6 propellers, and some ocean-going giants of impressive size and lofty demeanor. The Tsarist navy also proved open to new weapons systems such as mines, torpedoes and submarines.[/i]
